outlawphx 1 #3 October 28, 2005 QuoteGet a 300-Vid Stroboframe plate. I'll take a look. I'm currently looking through the Markertek catalog. I saw some Bogen plates that look promising... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outlawphx 1 #4 October 28, 2005 QuoteGet a 300-Vid Stroboframe plate. Found that at B&H. So typically you run a 300-VID and a 300-QRC? I wonder if it's possible to just use the 300-VID, since I'm not planning on pulling off the camera much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #5 October 28, 2005 you can just use the plate.. but the QRC is work the money. The camers comes off more often then I expected. If you use the VID plate you need to remove it to change tapes. That involves taking the camera off the helmet Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #6 October 28, 2005 Tripod screws are simply 1/4" 20 machine screws or bolts available at just about any hardware store. Just be certain that you shim or washer the screw or bolt in such a way that it doesn't penatrate the interior of the camera (don't let it be too long). Further, don't over tighten. You can easily ruin the camera.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shogo 0 #11 November 2, 2005 Thanks. I checked it out. i have another question. unlike bogen quick release plate, the distance between the pin and the screw is not adjustable. is the distance between the pin and the screw standardized among consumer camcoder? at lease among sony? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
